Yes, I completely agree. "Socialism" is a soundbite used by politicians to


inflame. For or against something or someone. Which prevents a debate on merits, with people just calling each other names.

You know what really is socialist? Tariffs. Not a govt takeover of an industry, but a terrible direct intrusion into a free capitalist market. So Trump ironically enough is the only person in the 2020 presidential saga actually implementing socialist policies.

If it were confined to China, that might be one thing. But it isn't. It is his favorite hammer to use against everyone, friend or foe, sometimes for completely non-economic reasons.
